Newton

[Short general description]: The Newton project is envisioned and set out to build a new kind of ecommerce system on the blockchain where everyone can and should benefit directly from economic growth. With the help of existing blockchain and peer to peer tools catered specifically toward providing solutions to online retailers, Newton aspires to build the new infrastructure for a protocol-based economy.

[Main problems tackled]:

- Users own the data: Users secure and control their personal data through cryptography, and can then manage their personal credit. Users share the profit produced by data in a pre-agreed manner.

- Smarter: Personal credit can be automatically created in a free and open manner without authoritative intermediaries. This methodology will reduce human intervention and facilitate the coordination between people, between machines and between people and machines.

- More effective incentive mechanism: Replacing traditional business intermediaries by technology protocols will reduce the transactional cost and reward each who contributed in the transaction; such as service providers, consumers and other participants connected by the value-based Internet.

- New organizational structure and cooperation mode: The community economy managed by non-profit foundations will replace the monopoly of intermediary platforms managed by traditional for-profit organizations. Based on open, fair, and rational rules every contributor will benefit from the economy and become a part of the economy.

[Main contribution proposal]:

- Digital Identity and Credit: Users can manage and control access to their digital assets by using a digital identity. Digital assets include; cryptocurrencies, personal data, personal credit and anything that exists in a binary format and come with the right to use. Users can control and set different privacy modes for corresponding digital assets, and price the digital assets.

- Supply Chain: By using such techniques as “Atom Hashing” a unique digital identity for commodities can be created over the whole network. Through this digital identity a user can check the relevant information on any commodity at any time. Once information on each operation of a product enters the Newton Supply Chain, that information will be stored on the Newton blockchain. This ensures no tampering with the data once it is stored on the Newton blockchain. Through smart contract Newton can pre-set commercial exchanging rules to realize automatic insurance claims and property rights transfer. This will reduce the transaction costs and promote cooperation efficiency.

- Digital Marketing: Advertisers can set marketing plans through various built-in marketing smart contract templates in the system. This includes incentive modes, settlement modes, and dynamic price adjusting rules. Advertisers can audit ongoing and completed marketing contracts. By calling out the DAI system, an advertiser can conduct market research before marketing activities, and analyze the results after the marketing activities.

- Reliable physical tunnel: Based on NewChain and NewIoT technologies Newton is capable of designing a reliable physical tunnel protocol and define manufacturing specifications of related equipment. Any third party can manufacture safety equipment according to the protocol specification.

- NewChain: NewChain will have a main chain and sub-chains structure. The main chain will support account management, Newton token management, sub-chain management, network governance and more. The sub-chain will support specific service systems such as the hyper-exchange protocol, multiple consensus mechanisms and data structures, ensuring the assets transactions between the main chain and sub-chains, and between sub-chains. The NewChain provides a third-party developer the option and opportunity to create a new sub-chain after staking a certain amount of Newton tokens and passing the verification. NewVM is compatible with the Webassembly standard, supporting various general programming languages such as C/C++, Java, Python, TypeScript, and more. The system provides built-in smart contract templates for the hyper exchange protocol. The system built-in smart contract templates provide an effortless development and deployment of any application on the Newton NewChain. NewChain uses Ring-LWE anti-quantum encryption algorithm to ensure maximum security of all assets within the Newton ecosphere.

- NewNET: NewNET consists of a large number of nodes that run on an open network providing reliable storage services and supporting a full SQL database and various general programming languages. Through its flexible and decentralized architecture NewNET is able to directly host today's most widely used web services. Developers have the ability to release any calculation task to the nodes in the open network. The nodes can then select the corresponding calculation task according to their own (hardware) abilities, then obtain the corresponding incentives after completing the task. Through NewChain a decentralized network domain name service is fully supported. The ease of use of NewNET will increase through the blockchain technology.

- Atom Hashing: By using radiometric dating, PCA, machine vision, and deep learning technology Newton can quickly extract multiple characteristics of a certain material asset, including; weight, volume, size, shape, texture, optical properties, radioactive properties, thermodynamic properties, and a variety of customized random features. Then based on these characteristic data and algorithms Newton can create a unique identification and authentic right for any digital asset. The whole process is repeatable, verifiable and fault-tolerant.

- NewIoT: NewIoT is a general conception for a category of technologies that includes; blockchain fog computing, communication protocols between IoT devices and gateways and NewChain IoT devices developing specifications. The gateway has powerful computing and storage capabilities with built-in blockchain nodes, supporting multiple Internet accessing methods including; Ethernet/fiber, 3G/4G/5G, NB-IoT, IoT communication protocol such as BLE, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, and more. The IoT device store the collected information into NewChain through the gateway.
